Public bug reported: This machine has dapper-amd fully updated running fine. It works fine with 2.6.15-23-amd64-generic #1 SMP PREEMPT, but does not boot with any ubuntu 2.6.17 series. I've changed sources.list to edgy, updated everything it told me to, and installed 2.6.17-2, 2.6.17-3, and 2.6.17-4
